Progression is praised for constantly feeding new monsters, gear, skills, and stronger builds back into exploration and combat.
Pros: combat system, narrative quality
Cons: difficulty balance, grind level
Progression is a major strength, with upgrades, currencies, hub growth, and loadout improvements providing steady goals and player choice.
Pros: combat system, emotional impact
Cons: map and navigation design, platforming precision
Leon’s progression system was viewed positively as a fairly fleshed-out way to build out his arsenal.
Pros: pacing, combat system
Cons: originality
Progression was mixed: several reviews liked smoother systems, but others thought unlocks dragged or progression became too fast to matter.
Pros: combat system, narrative quality
Cons: difficulty balance, endgame content
Progression is split between useful skill growth and incremental stat upgrades. Some reviewers enjoy how new abilities change combat, while others barely feel the numerical gains.
Pros: combat system, fun factor
Cons: pacing, open-world design
Progression was criticized for slow style leveling and a drip-feed of unlocks despite giving players plenty to chase.
Pros: accessibility options, combat system
Cons: narrative quality, frame rate stability
Growing the party can broaden strategy, but losing a developed ally disrupts investment. Some feel the game stops introducing meaningful novelty too early, and ultimate rewards can arrive too late...

Cons: fun factor, narrative quality
